[Bug ld/2342] linkonce debug is broken

I think we all agree that the ideal ld behaviour would be to strip out debug
info corresponding to removed linkonce sections.  Failing that, I claim that
marking the debug info in some way as invalid is the next best solution.  At
least that gives gdb a chance to discard the info.  That is what we are trying
to do by putting a zero in debug info address fields.

Your patch caused other gdb problems, specifically, gdb miscalculated the
address range for a compilation unit, which led to gdb reporting file and line
number wrongly for a breakpoint set in another compilation unit.
